Investors Beware: Raising Interest Rates Could Still Come As A Shock

The world is beset with uncertainty – not least about what will happen in Greece. Meanwhile, anxiety persists about the fall of the Chinese stock market and the underlying health of the American economy.

An Empire Strikes Back: Germany and the Greek Comment

EUROPE - A desperate battle was fought last week. It pitted Germany and Greece against each other. Each country had everything at stake. Based on the deal that was agreed to, Germany forced a Greek capitulation. But it is far from clear that Greece can allow the agreement reached to be implemented, or that it has the national political will to do so. It is also not clear what its options are, especially given that the Greek people had backed Germany into a corner, where its only choice was to risk everything. It was not a good place for Greece to put the Germans. They struck back with vengeance.
